NAVIGATING THROUGH LAND-SCAPE

The thesis project derives from an interest in endemic nature of architectural language and builtenvironment that weaves together a texture inseparable from the land, the sun and the seasons. It includes a thorough process of site analysis, program formulation and architectural form finding - by approaching site specific stories of natural and literary history that is encoded in landscape of deceptively simple beauty of the island Runmarö in Stockholm archipelago. The rich flora & fauna of the island has been an inspiration for a generation of littérateur, orchid hunters, nature explorers and hover-fly collectors. This literary inspiration of the island is used as motivation to unfold the dialogue between the land-form and architectural outcome.

STUDIO 09 KYUDO PAV I L I O N IN LIME
The project is a narrative of reading and mapping of a territory in the countryside landscape of Denmark. Over the course of the narrative, the approach is carefully balanced between practical & fantastic. The program is articulated with the readings from Francesco Careri’s ‘walkscape’. The site consists of three geographical elements; such as a gravel pit, woods and an ancient burial mound in the outskirts of Lime. Depending on these three elements, there are three operations inserted within the territory. This journey along the path in this landscape is a combination of spaces; each representing a peculiar geographical situation of the site: space of perceiving - sculpture space for pause - kyudo pavilion space of going - sacred ritual chamber

In order to understand the three geographical features within the site - a plaster cast was prepared at 1:200 scale. It is a decisive instrument for the nature of spaces carved out from the earth.
A space constructed by vectors of erratic pathways, by a series of geographical features connected to memories and assembled in sequence. Keeping with the fixed vertical & horizontal reference: the sun & the horizon.

‘walkscapes’ has shaped the atmosphere of the three operations introduced in the gravel pit. The narrative is strengthening the journey along the path. Walking - though is not a physical construct of space, it indeed implies transformation of the place & it’s meaning.

Each work of architecture must reflect the admirable workings of the earth that are specific to the place it stands. The landscape of the earth that we find beautiful are the landscapes of the endless cycle: autumn leaves, snowscapes, trees silvered with frost, the ebb & flow of flow of tides - magnificent natural phenomena constitute landscapes that are wrought by earth’s energy. - HIROSHI SAMBUICHI

STUDIO 08 internship at lendager arkitekter NĂŚrgenbrugsstation Nordhavn
Lendager arkitekter’s approach is strongly analytical and revolved around development of social, economical and environmental potentials within sustainable developments in architecture. This is archived through a holistic approach to the sustainability & circular economy. During my time I had a chance to work on a wide range of projects; starting form a recycling station to some of the urban housing projects. Presented here is a competition project, proposing a sustainable and economical solution for sorting out domestic waste and utilising the waste as building material. 20

W A S T E L A N D EXHIBITION PELICAN SELF STORAGE
Student assitant at Lendager arkitekter Pelican shelf storage is seen as a new standards for waste handling and reusing the crushed concrete on site to create new concrete. For faรงade studies, I was given responsibility of trying out concrete panels with tree relief on it - this was tried & tested with different concrete mix ratio & using 3D prints of the faรงade as moulds for concrete castings. As conclusion of the process - a final presentation model was casted in concrete at 1:50 scale. This process was exhibited as one of the material stream at the WASTELAND exhibition. 24

build a shelter that can skillfully adapt to the natural settings, have given birth to number of environment. Mankind’s dwellings stand as the concrete expression of a complex interaction nd norms, climatic conditions and potentialities of the natural materials. Related study program o understand these expressions by studying vernacular architecture along with its architectural ciocultural patterns of a particular place. The program is always treated as an opportunity to re in a different context and its contribution to the character of a particular landscape. This nse study of an environment, documenting the site with measured drawings and analytical activity patterns.
